Hello @mhanso83 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you so much for sharing your story and journey with AFIB. I think you bring up a good point to keep diary and use a proven smartwatch or device that can help with tracking. Very sage advice.
Do you feel that tracking and journaling gives you more peace of mind and less anxiety overall as an added benefit?

Please remember this was a short time frame (8 - 9 months) during the CORVID-19 crisis, and along with losing my mother and younger brother (non-COVID) at the same time I had to keep a detailed log so I could keep a check on my stress level and remember things with the brain fog (meds). I am in the process of losing my hair and now face another extensive medical problem with blood issues which has been referred to a hemoltagist /oncologist. Tracking the Normal Sinus Rhtymn helped my husband's peace of mind. My numerous doctors (3 cardio, primary senior care and oncologist) all provide a serious aggressive treatment with monthly EKG and blood tests. I still consider myself fortunate even with all these issues, because I have access to all this medical care and can get treated.
